I have a little problemwith a particular dynamic shape. I have a dynamic shape and is it assigned a net and still it is separated. What is the problem? Why don't they connect if they are on the same net?

Is there a Route Keepout defined in that area which is causing the separation (turn all Route Keepout Layers)

OR

Is there a shape void defined that is causing the separation. (Shape > Manual Void.... > Delete, select the shape and window over the separation to delete the void if it exists) Also running Delete Islands (Shape > Delete Islands) would create these types of shape voids if at one point you had two traces that ran thru the area to form an island in the shape.

Go to Display - Color Visibility and turn on the Bound for the specific layer that has the issue. This is a good way to view the outer boundary of the shapes including any voids / islands that have been deleted.
